Around 40 per cent of gamers playing the last Command & Conquer game went online for a multiplayer experience, but while the team at EALA is working to motivate a higher proportion to do so in the forthcoming Command & Conquer 4, it'll never hit complete saturation.
Joystiq writes..... Though Command & Conquer Red Alert 3's Uprising expansion landed on PCs months ago, it seems a port of at least some of the expansion's content is heading to consoles this fall. The "Commander's Challenge" DLC is set to run you $10 and offers "50 intense challenges against a set of nine different commanders, including 16-time world champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair." Sound familiar? That's because the ESRB let slip the first news of the DLC a little over a month ago.
EA has released an update for their RTS title Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, now available for download.

A rather large patch has been released for EA's RTS title Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, updating the game to v1.11 and adding new maps to skirmish and online play.
For a while, it was unclear if Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (2007) would get a proper sequel. The Xbox 360 and PC real-time strategy game was a critical smash, earning a 9.0 from GameSpot (on the PC) and selling a respectable 701,000 units in the US, according to the NPD Group. However, the expansionsCommand & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath and spin-off Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (both 2008) didn't fare as well with reviewers and only sold around a third as many units domestically.
An online survey apparently conducted on behalf of publisher Electronic Arts contains word of the unannounced Command & Conquer 4 and numerous details.
This mod from TheWorms is a partial conversion. Changes include missing features from older RA titles, graphical improvements, sound and particle effects, slight balance changes, and addition of new/campaign only units.
Electronic Arts has released the Mod SDK for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, introducing some unique features to greatly simplify the process of compiling a mod with the new Red Alert 3 Mod BuildStudio.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has received an update addressing a network issue that appeared in a previous patch.
As you may already know and bitch about, some EA PC games only allow the owner to install the game on five machines. Back in December, EA released a de-authorization tool for Spore which allowed users to switch these five authorizations around between machines. Now they've unveiled a new tool that allows you to do this for over a dozen different games with SecuROM.
